Parents of a six-year-old girl with life-threatening cerebral palsy today hailed “the warmth and kindness” of Everton Football Club .

Amanda and Michael Kewley brought their daughter Meghan to Merseyside to watch the Blues’ 2-0 over Brighton earlier this month.

Meghan was given the red carpet treatment on her first visit to Goodison.

It followed a bust-up at Crewe Alexandra’s stadium, who the family have followed for many years, and which involved a senior steward rowing with Megan’s parents in front of their child at a match last September.

The Kewleys demanded the steward be sacked by the League Two outfit, but the Railway Men’s bosses refused to budge.

After relaying their experience on Twitter, the couple were stunned when an Everton season ticket holder suddenly contacted and invited them to the Blues Premier League game as VIP guests.

Meghan was given a signed matchday programme, and an Everton replica shirt with her name emblazoned across the back.
